What if I installed the battery incorrectly in my thermometer?

When the thermometer was manufactured it was designed to accept a specific size and style of battery such as a lithium or alkaline battery. If an incorrect battery was used, it could have permanently damaged the thermometer. Make certain you are installing the battery with the correct polarity (+/-). Installing battery backwards may cause irreparable harm to the electronics.
